Results (16th & 17th December)

Greetings amigos,

A quintet of managers correctly called the goalless draw between Brighton and Burnley, which led to a pretty high scoring week.  The five in question were Mr Luke, Mr Raistrick (both 12), myself (11) and Mr McClay and Mr Stewart-Jones (both 10).  Elsewhere arguably the stand out performance came from Mr West as he amassed 9 points without a single spot-on; the man in down under has had very little luck on the spot-ons front so far this season, typified by a weekend in which he was a single goal away from a correct scoreline in no less than five fixtures.  To complete the picture Mr Crinnion scored 8 points, Mr Moore 6 and Mr O'Callaghan 5.

Any mistakes let me know - festive fixture list sent around earlier this week.

Take it easy,

Results (9th & 10th December)

Greetings amigos,

It is one of Predictio's strange foibles that Mr O'Callaghan has never won the domestic title, yet he has accumulated the second highest volume of monthly awards with an impressive haul of seventeen to date.  Adam top scored this time around with 12 points to go four points clear of the current monthly race and put number eighteen firmly in his sights; he'll be hoping that he can maintain his current fine form and close the gap to the summit of the overall table in his quest for that maiden title.  Elsewhere we welcomed back Mr McClay after a lengthy period out from the game, and what a return it was - Dave nonchalantly amassed a very impressive 11 points including a champagne maximum by correctly calling the 5 goal thriller at St James' Park.  Elsewhere there were some less memorable scores, as I scored 7 points (leapfrogging Mr Crinnion - who scored 2 points - at the top of the overall table in the process), Mr West 6, Mr Stewart-Jones 5, and Mr Luke and Mr Raistrick scored 3 apiece.

The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

Matchday 4 saw three convincing wins resulting in the beginnings of clarity regarding the likely knockout stage contenders.  In Group A Adam defeated MD 9-5 to go top of the group and is well placed to qualify either as group winner or as a very strong candidate for best runner-up.  In Group B Theo L walked in a 5-0 victory over Dave (who did not appear for their fixture) and as such joins Nick on 6 points at the top of the standings.  Finally in Group C Ben won a high scoring encounter over Theo W by 12-7; Ben has one foot in the semi-finals as he boasts an unbeaten record resulting in 7 points, and as such he cannot be caught by Theo W and I'd need to win both of my remaining game by some margin to overtake Jamine.

Any mistakes let me know.  Matchday 5 of The Soares Cup will take place during the weekend of 13th/14th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:  Adam  9 v 5  Phil

Group B:  Dave  0 v 5  Theo L

Results (2nd & 3rd December)

Greetings amigos,

After winning back to back titles in 2013-14 and 2014-15, Mr Raistrick has gone empty handed on the domestic title front.  His impressive 12 point haul over the weekend has breathed life into his 2017-18 campaign - Jamine brought his points tally into 3 figures and closed the gap between himself and the top of the table to 17 points.  The trio above Jamine in the table saw mixed returns as Mr Stewart-Jones scored 8 points, I scored 10 points and our leader Mr Crinnion scored 6 points meaning only a single point separates first and second in the table.  Elsewhere Mr O'Callaghan got his month off to a good start with 9 points, Mr West scored 7 points, Mr Moore and Mr Luke scored 5 apiece and Mr McClay had a weekend off.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
